UNLV QB takes redshirt due to NIL dispute

This whole system is built upon a legal fiction, but if the parties at play don't adhere to the rules of the fiction, this whole system is going to fall apart, and it's going to be ugly.
I think quitting on your 3-0 team is where it turns ugly.

I think it’s fine that the kid is doing it; this is likely his only chance to get paid playing football, and there’s not a 20something who would turn down the chance to start their real life after making six figures.

I can’t believe nothing was written down. Or nothing enforceable. Or whatever.

Is the new rule that one can take an unlimited number of redshirt years?

UNLV QB takes redshirt due to NIL dispute

He accepting the scholarship with the understanding he’d be receiving an NIL payment of $100k; when the UNLV collective renigned on their deal he decided to save his final year of eligibility and look to play elsewhere. He did not want to play for a coach that lied to him.
The coach cannot promise NIL payments. NIL are third-party payments for the right to use a player's name, image, and/or likeness. They are not payments from a school or a coach in exchange for playing.

If the coach was promising such things, I think that's probably against the law.

The school that he plays for supplies his scholarship, not his NIL payment. If he's taking the scholarship then he should be playing.

Where we stand post-Washington debacle

If Cam is back and the WRs actually can catch a ball, Purdue and Wisconsin should be wins. Maryland, along with Indiana are probable losses though, unless the Cats get their act together.
To catch a ball, the WR's and TE's need a QB to throw it accurately to them provided they do their job of getting open. So far we have disappointing results from Wright and Lausch although there were a few drops by the receivers. Is R Hilinski completely out of the picture? Maybe Lou, MShelton or someone closer to the action can weigh in on that. We can get to 6w's since our D will keep us in most games but the offense has to do its part.

OT: Caitlin Clark first WNBA rookie ever to record a triple double

The WNBA guard that everyone on this board should be rooting for just helped end Caitlin Clark's season. Congratulations to NU's own Veronica Burton for advancing on to the next round of the playoffs!!

Clark was unreal this season. Rookie of the year and 1st team all-WNBA. Broke an incredible amount of records, including most assists in a single season (she had some incredible highlight reel assists in that last game). She also accounted for more of her team’s points than any player in the league. Fever have a lot of roster holes….if they somehow get them fixed that team will be nearly unbeatable.

She’s kinda like the Chris Collins of the WNBA.
